Galway native, Ronan Grimes, has emerged as one of the best Para-Cyclists in the World. Grimes found his way to Para-Cycling by an unorthodox root through the Irish Government’s Cycle to Work scheme.
In 2022 he was crowned European time trial champion in the men’s C4 category in Austria and followed that up with a bronze medal in the Paracycling Road World Championships C4 time trial in Canada.
In the same championships, Grimes won his first World Championships gold medal as he took victory in the C4 road race. He closed out his season in October and won a silver medal in the individual pursuit at the Paracycling Track World Championships in Paris.
On the back of that successful season, he was nominated for the Sportsperson of the Year award at the 2022 RTE Sports Awards.
